Sorry about that. I don't know if you can call the validate() from your LDA methods manually, then if errors come back, return a new ActionForward to the proper JSP, depending on what JSP you came from (via a hidden field passed in from the JSP?)? Hopefully someone with more LDA experience will offer more suggestions ...
